Da Guys Dat Tell
Dey Talk Fo God, But Dey Bulai
1 Da firs year afta Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, come king fo da Judah peopo, get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo me, Jeremiah.
2 I tell da peopo dat Da One In Charge tell me dis: “Make da kine straps an bars dat peopo use fo one yoke fo dea cow pull wagon. Tie da yoke on top yoa neck.
3 Den sen one message bout da yoke to ery ambassada guy dat come by Zedekiah, da king fo Judah inside Jerusalem. Da ambassada guys come from da kings fo Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, an Sidon. Tell um take home da message fo dea king.
4 Tell dem fo tell dea boss guys, ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell. So dis wat you guys gotta tell yoa guys dat stay in charge:
5 Me, Da One In Charge, I wen make da world, all da peopo, an da animals dat stay on top da earth, cuz I get plenny powa an I use um how I like. I give my powa to anybody I like.
6 Now, I give all da countries wea you guys stay king, to my helpa guy Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon. I even give him all da wild animals fo help him!
7 All da diffren peopos goin come work fo him, an his boy, an his grankid. But den, da time goin come fo odda peopos an strong kine kings fo take ova his country Babylon, an make him an his peopo work fo dem.
8 But if get one peopo wit one king dat no do wat Nebukadnezzar, da king fo Babylon, tell um fo do, az jalike dey no put dea neck unda his yoke. An I goin punish dat peopo. I goin make war come to dem, I goin take away dea food, an goin sen da bad kine sick fo hurt dem. Dass how I goin use Nebukadnezzar fo wipe all dem out. Az wat Da One In Charge tell.
9 “ ‘Az why you king guys betta not lissen da guys dat talk fo yoa gods, da guys dat aks dea gods wat goin happen, da guys dat can tell you wat yoa dream tell, da guys dat call da spirit from da mahke peopo fo come tell you wat goin happen bumbye, da guys dat tell wass goin happen cuz dey know da bad kine spirits! No lissen dem wen dey tell you guys dat you no goin come slaves fo da Babylon king!
10 Cuz wen dey tell you wat dea gods tell you, dey bulai. An cuz a dat, peopo goin bring you guys far away from yoa land. I goin kick out you guys, an you guys goin come wipe out.
11 But if any country let da Babylon king take ova dem fo dem work fo him, az jalike dey let him put one yoke on top dea neck. I goin let dose peopo stay inside dea land fo farm da land an live dea.’ ” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.
12 Jeremiah tell: “Den I tell da same ting to Zedekiah, da Judah king. I tell um: ‘All you guys gotta let da Babylon king take ova. You gotta work fo him an his peopo, jalike you guys stay put da yoke from da Babylon king on top yoa neck. You guys do dat, you goin stay alive!
13 No need you an yoa peopo mahke from war, mahke cuz no mo food, an mahke from da real bad kine sick! Cuz Da One In Charge tell, dat if one peopo no let da Babylon king take ova, dass wat goin happen to dem.
14 No lissen wat da guys dat tell dey talk fo Da One In Charge tell! Dey tell you guys no work fo da Babylon king fo bulai you!
15 Da One In Charge tell he neva sen dem. Dey tell dey talk fo him, but dey bulai. Az why he goin kick you guys outa yoa land, an you goin come wipe out, you an all da guys dat tell you guys dat dey talk fo him.’ ”
16 Den I tell da pries guys an all da peopo: “Dis wat Da One In Charge tell: No lissen da guys dat tell dey talk fo me! Dey tell you dat real fas, da stuff from da Temple Fo Da One In Charge goin come back from Babylon. Da guys dat tell you guys dat dey talk fo me, dey bulai you guys!
17 No lissen dem! Work fo da Babylon king, so den you guys goin stay alive! No need dis town come all bus up!
18 Maybe get guys dat talk fo Da One In Charge fo real, an dey get one message from Da One In Charge. Den, good dey pray to Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, dat da stuff dat still stay inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an inside da palace a da Judah king, an inside Jerusalem, no go Babylon.
19 “Cuz dis wat Da One In Charge tell bout da big poses, da big watta tank, da watta carts dat move, an da odda stuff from da Temple dat still stay yet inside dis town:
20 Nebukadnezzar neva take dat stuff away, da time he wen catch Koniah, Jehoiakim boy, da king fo Judah. He make him prisona an take um away from Jerusalem to Babylon, wit all da alii guys from Judah an Jerusalem.
21 But dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell bout da stuff dat still stay inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, an inside da palace fo da Judah king, an inside Jerusalem:
22 Dey goin take um away Babylon side, an goin stay ova dea, till da time come fo go an get um. Den I goin bring um back an put um inside dis place one mo time.” Az wat Da One In Charge tell.
